Best meal I ever ate:

I really love the tasting menu at Uchi. I also had several incredible meals at Bradley Ogden in Las Vegas.

My current drink of choice:

Either a really good grey goose martini - dirty. Or a glass of wine!

I really wish I could:

Do a trip around the US - eating my way across the nation. I'd love to do something like Alton Brown did on the Food Network - lots of backroad cafes and such. If only I didn't have to work, huh? :)

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

I prefer to do appetizers when I go to a dinner party. We have a recipe for an really tasty parm-reggiano, with honey and truffle oil. It sounds weird, but is SO delish. I also love to make homemade empenadas. Yes - they're fried and fattening, but REALLY good.

My favorite comfort food:

Macaroni and Cheese

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Uchi, Bouchon (Las Vegas), Ranch 616, Nobu (Las Vegas), Bradley Ogden (Las Vegas), Lou Malnatis (chicago). Ok, that's more then five :)

My most tattered cookbooks:

We do a lot of recipes out of Cooks Illustrated.
